## History

[edit]

Vagaro was founded by Fred Helou in 2009.[5]

In 2018, Vagaro raised $63 million in a growth-equity round led by FTV Capital.[6]

In 2021, Vagaro raised another round of funding from FTV Capital for an undisclosed amount at a $1 billion valuation.[7][8][9] With this investment and valuation, Vagaro reached unicorn status.

In 2022, Vagaro opened its first physical international office in Stevenage, England, to address increasing global customer demand and to foster stronger customer relationships in the U.K.[10]

In 2025, Vagaro acquired Schedulicity, a smaller competitor in the same sector to expand its customer base.[11][12]
